Remcom Inc.

Remcom Inc., a small business based in State College, Pennsylvania, develops and licenses electromagnetic simulation and wireless propagation software to federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards), anchored by a $243.9 million Total Small Business indefinite-delivery contract with the Office of Naval Research for tactical electronic warfare and combat systems research and development. Remcom competes predominantly full-and-open and does not hold 8(a) or HUBZone designations; recent awards under SBIR Phase I and II programs carry Total Small Business set-asides, but the bulk of the footprint is unrestricted competition.

Remcom's capability portfolio centers on three core software platforms: Wireless InSite (wireless communications simulation), XFDTD Pro (finite-difference time-domain electromagnetic simulation), and xGTD (computational electromagnetics modeling). The company sells perpetual licenses, floating leases, annual maintenance and support renewals, and custom electromagnetic modeling research to defense and civilian agencies. Recent representative work includes a $849.8 thousand NASA Phase II SBIR for wireless channel simulation and coverage analysis for lunar environments (awarded June 2024, completion November 2026), a $1.2 million Air Force Research Laboratory Phase II SBIR for thermal analysis of near-field RF exposure prediction (awarded September 2023, completed December 2023), a $574.8 thousand NASA Phase III SBIR for advanced antenna simulation on lunar suits and vehicles (awarded September 2026, completion March 2028), recurring $33 thousand to $92 thousand annual license and maintenance renewals with NASA's Shared Services Center across all three software products, and a $138.3 thousand Army RDECOM purchase order for XFDTD Pro maintenance across three licenses (awarded August 2024, completion September 2025).

Customer concentration is dominated by defense and space agencies. The top five agencies account for substantial potential value: the Office of Naval Research anchors the portfolio at $349.3 million (11 awards, nearly all from the single ONR indefinite-delivery contract), followed by the Air Force Air Combat Command ($5.1 million across 17 awards), the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory ($2.7 million across 9 awards), NASA Shared Services Center ($2.6 million across 20 awards), and the Army RDECOM ($1.6 million across 17 awards). NASA and Army RDECOM lead by award count despite modest individual order sizes, reflecting recurring license and maintenance renewal patterns; the Navy's dominance in potential value reflects the single large IDC. Remcom serves 38 distinct federal customer organizations in aggregate.

Remcom holds a seat on the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0791J (46 task orders, $1.1 million combined potential value) and places work under multiple Air Force Materiel Command indefinite-delivery contracts (IDC FA703709D0002 with 6 task orders and $848 thousand potential value; IDC FA703707D0002 with 4 task orders and $505 thousand). The Navy IDC dominates the parent-vehicle landscape by dollar value despite appearing as a single vehicle on the listing.

Activity has grown in recent years — eight awards in 2023, five in 2024, thirteen in 2025, with three in 2026 and one in 2027 — though the 2026–2027 data reflects a shorter reporting window. Eight awards carrying combined potential value of $2 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure. The combined potential value across the entire 208-award footprint is $369.5 million, with only $27.4 million (7%) obligated to date, indicating a large universe of unexercised contract ceilings and renewal options.

Remcom subcontracts to defense and aerospace prime contractors on selective basis. Recent sub work includes research support services to Leidos (awarded September 2025), electromagnetic simulation software development to Booz Allen Hamilton on RDT&E engineering (awarded September 2025 and July 2024), integrated testing and communications engineering for lunar exploration to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (awarded August 2025), bioeffects research products to General Dynamics Information Technology (awarded January 2025), and RF simulation software to Applied Research Associates on Naval Medical Research Unit work (awarded April 2025). The sub footprint represents only 4% of total awards by count and is concentrated in defense R&D and space-exploration support.
